Hand mit Uhr, Public art sculpture in Hansa quarter, Berlin, Germany.
The Hand mit Uhr sculpture stands 4.5 meters tall and features a large metallic hand holding a digital clock at its center against the urban landscape.
German sculptor Joachim Schmettau created this public installation in 1975 as part of the Percent for Art program to enhance community spaces in Berlin-Mitte.
The sculpture represents the connection between human perception and time through its combination of anatomical form and technological elements in an urban setting.
Located at the intersection of Altonaer Strasse in the Hansa quarter, the sculpture serves as both a functional timepiece and a distinctive meeting point.
The structure incorporates multiple materials including bronze, nickel silver, steel, and concrete, with its digital clock component maintaining functionality through decades.
